In May 2020, America’s economy collapsed under the weight of a global pandemic and Lawrence lost his job with its six-figure income. But instead of feeling fear or worry, Lawrence and his wife Audrey felt peace. The Gibbses ended up making ... ...

EXCITING, FUN, AND IT SCARED
ME A LOT.
Reporter: THE FIRST AND ONLY
FEMALE HOST OF COLLEGE SPORTS
NATION.
IT KEPT ME ON MY TOES AND
CHALLENGED ME.
THE STORY SHE DID NOT SHARE
ON THE SIDELINES.
THERE WAS A DARKER SIDE OF
MY LIFE THAT FEW KNEW ABOUT.
THE SECRET THAT NEARLY ENDED
HER CAREER.
YOU ARE A RUNAWAY TRAIN,
GOING DOWN THE WRONG WAY ON THE
TRACK.
TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB.
> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.
EVERY YEAR, THE PALESTINIAN
AUTHORITY RECEIVES HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM
AMERICA AND ALSO FROM ISRAEL
AND THE EUROPEAN UNION.
FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, NO ONE
IS EXACTLY KNOWS HOW THAT MONEY
IS BEING SPENT.
LEADERS WILL NOT RELEASE THE
INFORMATION.
THE REASON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IS LIKELY BEING USED TO FUND
TERRORISM.
CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS FROM
JERUSALEM ON A WATCHDOG GROUP
DEMANDING ANSWERS.
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY HAS
CHANGED ITS FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND A LEADING WATCHDOG GROUP
WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS TRYING
TO HIDE.
THEY PUBLISH LIMITED
FINANCIAL REPORTING'S ON A
MONTHLY OR ANNUAL BASIS BUT
SLOWLY AND SURELY, THEY HAVE
BEEN CUTTING BACK.
Reporter: AFTER RESEARCHING
THE ISSUE, THE PALESTINIAN
MEDIA WATCH FOUND THE PA HAS
NOT PUBLISHED ITS ANNUAL BUDGET
IN FOUR YEARS.
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS HOW THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY PLANS TO
USE THEIR MONEY.
INTERNATIONAL DONOR MONEY, IS
REALLY MONEY THAT HAS COME IN,
EVEN OTHER MONEY -- ALMOST
EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS
OF FIVE DIGIT THEY PUBLISH.
TEY DO NOT PUBLISH THEIR
BUDGET.
EVEN PUBLISHED ACCOUNTING
INFORMATION OF WHAT HAD BEEN
SPENT IS NOW MISSING.
WHEN YOU GO ONTO THE WEBSITE,
THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO ANY
FINANCIAL DETAILS.
Reporter: THEY REPEATEDLY
ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY BUT WAS
UNABLE TO GET A RESPONSE.
SINCE THE BEGINNING IN 1994,
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAS
BASICALLY FUNDED THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.
MORE THAN HALF OF THAT MONEY
COMES FROM ISRAEL.
MOSTLY TAXES COLLECTED FROM
PALESTINIANS WORKING IN THE
COUNTRY.
WHILE THE PA X DOMESTIC TAXES,
THE REST OF ITS FUNDING COMES
FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE
UNITED STATES.
THE REASON THEY ARE TRYING
TO HIDE THEIR FINANCES IS THAT
PALESTINIAN MEDIA WATCH HAS
REEATEDLY USED THE REPORTS
THEY DO PUBLISH IN ORDER TO
HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT THEY
PAY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN REWARDS TO
TERRORISTS EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
Reporter: THAT IS WHY
CONGRESS PASSED THE TAYLOR
FORCE ACT IN 2018.
TAYLOR FORCE WAS A U.S.
MILITARY VETERAN, MURDERED IN A
TERROR ATTACK IN ISRAEL.
HIS MURDERER WAS KILLED IN THE
ATTACK, AND SO HIS FAMILY
RECEIVES A STIPEND BECAUSE HE
WAS A TERRORIST.
THE TAYLOR FORCE ACT DOES NOT
ALLOW THE U.S. TO GIVE DIRECT
ECONOMIC AID TO THE P.A.
UNLESS IT STOPS PAYING STIPENDS
TO TERRORISTS AND THEIR
FAMILIES OF DEAD TERRORISTS.
THEY ARE GOING HERE FOR THE
--
BOTH AGENCIES HAS FUNDING
GOING TO INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS AND SCHOOLS AND HEALTH
CLINICS FOR THE PEOPLE BUT THAT
FREES UP OTHER MONIES IN THE
P.A.
BUDGET.
IT COULD BE USED TO PAY
TERRORISTS.
WE HAVE SHOWN THAT THE P.A.
HAS BEEN SIPHONING OFF ALMOST 1
BILLION SHEKELS, HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR,
AT LEAST FOR THE LAST THREE
YEARS TO WHAT THEY CALL THE
PLO INSTITUTIONS.
Reporter: THERE IS PLENTY
THE WEST CAN DO TO HOLD THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
ACCOUNTABLE.
HE ALSO SAYS TRANSFERRING MONEY
TO INSTITUTIONS BELONGING TO
THE PLO SHOULD BE PROHIBITED.
HE SAYS THESE ARE ELEMENTARY
REQUIREMENTS THAT SHOULD BE
IMPLEMENTED QUICKLY.
REWARDING TERRORISM DOES NOT
PROMOTE PEACE.
SIPHONING OFF BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN ORDER FOR THESE PLO
INSTITUTIONS TO, AGAIN,
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY,
FINANCE, FUND, PROMOTE
TERRORISM DOES NOT PROMOTE
PEACE.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
THIS DOES NOT PROMOTE PEACE.
WHAT IT DOES PROMOTE IS
INCITEMENT AND WE HAVE SEEN
THAT IN THE PAST FEW DAYS.
A LEADER OF HAMAS IN GAZA TELLS
PALESTINIANS TO GET THEIR GUNS
READY, TO SHARPEN THEIR AXES
AND THEIR KNIVES AND IN
RESPONSE, THERE IS AN AXA TAX,
A MURDER OF THREE FATHERS, ON
THE STREETS OF ISRAEL, AND
BECAUSE OF AN IDEOLOGY OF HATRED
. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU JUST
SHAKE YOUR HEAD AND GO, HOW CAN
YOU TRAIN YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR
GRANDCHILDREN, YOUR GREAT
GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS KIND OF
HATRED, WHERE YOU TURN THEM
INTO MURDERERS?
THEN THEY BECOME MURDERERS
ANGRY TOWARD THEM FINANCIALLY
AND YOUR REWARD THEIR FAMILIES.
IT ABSOLUTELY MAKES NO SENSE.
THAT IS WHY ARE U.S. CONGRESS
PASSED THE ACT. IT IS UP TO
OUR CURRENT IT ADMINISTRATION
TO FORCE IT AND SAY, NO, WE ARE
NOT GOING TO FUND TERRORISM OR
FUND THE MURDER OF ISRAELIS.
THIS HAS TO STOP.
I HOPE THEY HAVE THE BACKBONE
TO DO IT.
SO FAR, THEY HAVE NOT SHOWN
THAT.
THEY HAVE PUT BACK INTO PLACE
THINGS THAT, UNDER THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION, FUNDING FOR THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY WAS
WITHDRAWN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
ACT.
THEY HAVE EVEN SAID WE WANT TO
PUT A CONSULATE FOR THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY RIGHT IN
THE HEART OF JERUSALEM.
ISRAEL SAID NO.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT IN
OUR CAPITAL CITY.
IF YOU WANT TO PUT A CONSULATE
INTO THIS AREA, GO AHEAD, BUT
NOT ON OUR LAND.
SO, THIS IS ONE WHERE -- YOU
LOOK AT OUR POLICIES AND SAY,
DO OUR POLICIES REALLY INTEND
TO BRING PEACE TO THE REGION OR
DO THEY INTEND TO BRING
INCITEMENT AND FURTHER
TERRORISM?
THAT IS A QUESTION I THINK THE
ADMINISTRATION NEEDS TO BE
ASKED REPEATEDLY BECAUSE WE,
OUR TAX DOLLARS, ARE FUNDING
THIS.
> GAS PRICES HAD AN ALL-TIME
HIGH TODAY.
JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY FROM
OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU.
Reporter: FROM FUEL TO FOOD,
HOUSING, PRICES ARE SURGING
ACROSS THE BOARD AND ON WALL
STREET, STOCKS TOOK ANOTHER
MAJOR TUMBLE.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAD A
SCHEDULED ADDRESS THAT FOCUSES
ON THE GROWING INFLATION
CRISIS.
JENNA BROWDER REPORTS.
Reporter: AMERICANS ARE
FEELING IT IN THEIR POCKETBOOK
WITH GAS PRICES AT AN ALL-TIME
HIGH AND ANOTHER BASIC LIKE
FOOD IS SPIKING.
THE PRESIDENT KNOWS IT IS A
PROBLEM HE NEEDS TO GET OUT IN
FRONT OF INDENT --
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR A
GALLON OF REGULAR IS NOW $4.37,
UP $.23 FROM LAST MONTH AND A
NEW RECORD HIGH.
SOME ANALYSTS PREDICT AN
AVERAGE PRICE AS HIGH AS $4.50
BY SUMMER.
IT IS NOT JUST GAS.
ACCORDING TO THE LATEST
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX REPORT,
FOOD HAS RISEN 10% IN THE LAST
12 MONTHS, MARKING THE LARGEST
12 MONTH INCREASE SINCE 1981.
PRICES FROM MEAT AND EGGS
INCREASED MORE THAN 13% OVER
THE LAST YEAR WHILE BEEF ROAST
16%.
WHAT IS MORE, THEY PREDICT
GROCERY STORE PRICES WOULD JUMP
ANOTHER 5% TO 6%.
ON WALL STREET, STOCKS DEEPENED
THEIR LOSSES ON MONDAY, SENDING
THE S&P 500 TO ITS LOWEST CLOSE
IN MORE THAN A YEAR.
THE PRESIDENT WILL BE
SPEAKING TO HIS PLAN, HIS
CONTINUED PLAN TO CONTINUE THE
FIGHT TO ADDRESS INFLATION IN
THE COMING MONTHS.
Reporter: PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO ADDRESS
THE GROWING CRISIS TODAY AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
HE WANTS TO HIGHLIGHT STEPS HE
HAS TAKEN TO HELP AMERICAN
CONSUMERS, LIKE RELEASING OIL
FROM THE STRATEGIC RESERVE AND
CONTRASTING IT WITH REPUBLICAN
PROPOSALS.
EVEN SOME DEMOCRATS, INCLUDING
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON, AND
LARRY SUMMERS SAY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION'S BIG SPENDING
PACKAGES INCREASED THE SURGE IN
INFLATION.
JEN PSAKI IS TAKING THIS
POINTED QUESTION FROM A
REPORTER.
IN RETROSPECT, WERE THEY
RIGHT THAT SOME OF THE
GOVERNMENT POLICIES LED TO
INFLATION?
I WOULD NOT SEE WE AGREED
WITH THEM THEN AND WE DO NOT
AGREE WITH THEM NOW.
Reporter: DREW PARKHILL.
STEVE RATTNER, WAS ALSO AN
OBAMA ECONOMIC ADVISERS SAID
THIS IS BIDEN'S INFLATION AND
HE NEEDS TO OWN IT.
THEIR WARNINGS CAME TO PASS AND
BECAUSE OF REMAINS PENDING,
THAT IS WHAT MADE INFLATION
HIGHER.
THAT SPELLS VERTICAL TROUBLE
FOR THE PRESIDENT AND
DEMOCRATS.
A RECENT POLL SHOWS AMERICANS
TRUST REPUBLICANS OVER
DEMOCRATS TO HANDLE INFLATION BY
NEARLY 20 POINT MARGIN.
INFLATION IS THE NUMBER ONE
POLITICAL ISSUE BECAUSE IT
AFFECTS EVERYBODY.
THE WHITE HOUSE TALKS ABOUT JOB
GROWTH.
THAT IS NICE BUT THAT MAYBE
SOMEBODY DOWN THE STREET.
YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE
GOING TO THE GAS PUMP AND
SEEKING RECORD GAS PRICES.
YOU ARE SEEING HIGH FOOD
PRICES.
IT AFFECTS THE MIDDLE-CLASS AND
PEOPLE OF LOWER INCOMES.
HIS SPEECH COMES ONE DAY
BEFORE A KEY INFLATION REPORT
IS RELEASED.
ONE ON THE LIST BELIEVES IT
WILL SHOW IT WAS BELOW THE 8.5%
RATE WE SAW IN MARCH.
IT IS AN IN DECATUR INFLATION
MAY HAVE FINALLY PEAKED.
IN WASHINGTON, JENNA BROWDER,
CBN NEWS.
> NOW TO THE PHILIPPINES,
WHERE THE SON OF FERDINAND
MARCOS APPEARS TO HAVE LOCKED
UP THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
WITH 97% OF THE BALLOTS
COUNTED, HE WON MORE THAN 30
MILLION VOTES.
THE CLOSEST CONTENDER, THE
CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT, HAS
ABOUT 15 MILLION.
MANY PATIO HAS 3 1/2 MILLION.
PROTESTERS MARCHED IN CAMILLA.
THEY ARE OUTRAGED OVER
POLITICAL SYSTEM THAT WOULD
ALLOW THE HEIR OF AN EXILED
DICTATOR TO BECOME PRESIDENT.
FOR THOSE OF NOT FAMILIAR, DO
YOU THINK THOSE CONCERNS ARE
WARRANTED?
WE ARE LOOKING AT A
COMPLICATED ELECTION SYSTEM AND
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PEOPLE
WITHIN THE PHILIPPINES THAT
REMEMBER THE YEARS WITH
FONDNESS.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT
YOU SAY, OKAY, IF THAT IS
THERE, THEN THE ISSUE IS THAT
NAME RECOGNITION AND POPULARITY
-- THE PHILIPPINE POLITICAL
SYSTEM IS REMARKABLY
COMPLICATED.
IT IS ONE THAT YOU HAVE TO BE
ON THE INSIDE TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND IT.
SO, HOW DO THE, QUOTE, RULING
FAMILIES GET REACTED AND HAVE
CONTROL IS ONE OF THE GREAT
PUZZLES.
I LIVED THERE AT A TIME WHEN
FIDEL RAMOS WAS PRESIDENT AND
IT WAS A TIME OF REAL WONDERFUL
PROSPERITY FOR THE PHILIPPINES
AND A LOT OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AT
THE END.
THERE WAS THE WHOLE ASIAN
CRISIS AND THINGS SORT OF
REVERTED BACK AND YOU LOOK AT
IT AND YOU REALLY SCRATCH YOUR
HEAD.
HERE IS THE WONDERFUL THING.
IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THE
POLITICAL TURMOIL, IN THE
MIDDLE OF CONTESTED ELECTIONS
AND THOSE ELECTIONS ARE
REMARKABLY CONTESTED AND IN
SOME PLACES, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
MURDERED.
CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN MURDERED.
IN THAT, THE GOSPEL STILL GOES
FORWARD.
IT IS STILL WONDERFULLY STRONG.
I LOOK TO OUR CURRENT POLITICAL
TURMOIL AND I GO, I LIVED
THROUGH THAT IN THE PHILIPPINES
AND LET'S KEEP FOCUS ON WHAT WE
NEED TO BE FOCUSED ABOUT, WHICH
IS LET'S POPULATE HEAVEN.
IF YOU PUT ALL OF YOUR STOCK
INTO POLITICAL VICTORIES AND
POLITICAL SOLUTIONS TO OUR
PROBLEMS, YOU WILL BE
DISAPPOINTED, BUT IF YOU PUT
ALL OF YOUR HOPE IN JESUS, THEN
HE WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT YOU.
THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL STAND.
NOT EVEN THE GATES OF HELL WILL
PREVAIL AGAINST IT.
HE IS THE AUTHOR, THE FINISHER
OF OUR FAITH.
LET'S DO THAT IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
LET'S DO THAT RIGHT HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
AMEN.
> MILLIONS OF SPORTS FANS
WATCHED HER ON THE SIDELINES
FOR DECADES.
SPORTSCASTER RACHEL BARIBEAU
BLAZED A TRAIL FOR WOMEN, BUT
AT WHAT COST?
STAY TUNED TO SEE A SIDE OF
RACHEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
THAT IS COMING UP EXTRACT PLUS,
SPINNING POLITICS ON TIKTOK.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA GOLIATH HAS 1
BILLION MONTHLY USERS.
SEE WHAT PARTY JUST LAUNCHED ON
THE ACT AND HOW THEY ARE
WINNING YOUNG VOTERS AFTER
THIS.
> THEY BOAST 1 MILLION USERS
WITH TENS OF MILLIONS OF THEM
BEING YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEIR
20s.
THAT IS WHY THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY HAS A LAUNCHED AN APP ON
THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT,
TARGETING GENERATION Z. DAVID
BRODY REPORTS ON THE DNC'S
LATEST STRATEGY TO PREVENT A
RED WAVE THAT THE GOP IS
PREDICTING FOR MIDTERM
ELECTIONS.
Reporter: TODAY'S HOT SOCIAL
MEDIA LANDSCAPE HAS A LOT OF
TOP CONTENDERS -- TWITTER,
FACEBOOK, SNAPCHAT, INSTAGRAM,
YOUTUBE, BUT THE ONE MAKING BIG
WAVES IS TIKTOK, WITH MORE THAN
1 BILLION ACTIVE MONTHLY USERS.
IT IS A PLATFORM WHERE
ANYONE CAN MAKE SHORT VIDEOS
AND SPEND CURRENT EVENTS,
POLITICS, AND ANY ISSUE THE WAY
THEY WANT.
MARK MECKLER, THE FORMER CEO OF
PARLER, LAYS OUT THE CHALLENGE
AHEAD.
THE DIFFICULTY FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE IS TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS TRUE AND
WHAT IS NOT.
WE HAVE ACCESS TO MORE
INFORMATION THAN, FRANKLY, WE
HAVE EVER HAD.
Reporter: AS USUAL, THE
BATTLE IS ON TO WIN THE SPIN
GAME, ESPECIALLY AMONG THE
EARLY 20s GEN Z CROWD.
THEY ARE KNOWN TO BE
POLITICALLY ACTIVE AND THERE
ARE TENS OF MILLIONS OF THEM
OUT THERE.
SO FAR, DEMOCRATS HAVE A
SIZABLE ADVANTAGE.
GIVEN THIS IS THE FIRST MIDTERM
CYCLE IN THE TIKTOK ERA, THE
DNC RECENTLY LAUNCHED ON THE
APP AND THEY ARE GETTING MORE
THAN 2 MILLION VIEWS PER WEEK.
KAREN I LEAVITT IS A REPUBLICAN
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
AT AGE 25, SHE IS A MEMBER OF
GEN Z. SHE WOULD BE THE
YOUNGEST PERSON ELECTED TO
CONGRESS IF SHE WINS.
SHE UNDERSTANDS THE
BATTLEGROUND.
I WANT YOUR VIEWERS TO
UNDERSTAND JUST HOW SIGNIFICANT
AND, FRANKLY, DANGEROUS THIS
IS, THAT THE DNC IS UTILIZING
TIKTOK.
THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE APP FOR
MY GENERATION OF AMERICANS.
IT IS WHERE THEY GO TO SEEK
THEIR NEWS.
MY GENERATION IS NOT GOING TO
GO AND FACT CHECK THESE VIDEOS.
WE HAVE LOST ALL CRITICAL
THINKING SKILLS BECAUSE OF
SOCIAL MEDIA, SO THE DEMOCRATS
ARE CAPITALIZING ON THAT.
THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
BRAINWASH MY GENERATION OF
VOTERS, WHICH IS WHY IT IS SO
IMPORTANT THAT WE PUSH BACK ON
THIS.
Reporter: WHILE THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE
HAS NO TIKTOK PAGE, THE WHITE
HOUSE IS BRINGING IN
INFLUENTIAL TIKTOKER'S TO GIVE
THEM TALKING POINTS ON HOW TO
DISCUSS THINGS LIKE TASING
RISING GAS PRICES.
18-YEAR-OLD ELLIE ZIELER HAS
MORE THAN 10 MILLION FOLLOWERS.
WHY IS GAS SO EXPENSIVE AND
@INFLATION RATE SO HIGH?
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK
THE WHITE HOUSE WHY IT IS SEVEN
DOLLARS DOWN THE STREET AND
HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY.
Reporter: REGARDING UKRAINE,
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TURNED
TO AARON PARNAS, SINCE HE IS A
POWERFUL TIKTOK INFLUENCER IN
THIS AREA, WITH LIVE STREAMS
THAT GARNER MILLIONS OF VIEWS.
FOR THE FIRST 15 MINUTESOR
SO, THEY BRIEFED US ON WHAT THE
UNITED STATES IS DOING TO HELP
EUROPEAN ALLIES.
THE REMAINING 30 MINUTES, WE
WERE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS LIKE
JOURNALISTS ABOUT CONCEPTS THAT
OUR VIEWERS -- QUESTIONS THAT
OUR VIEWERS WANTED ANSWERED TO.
ONE CRITICISM IS THAT THEY
ARE ENGAGING IN STATE RUN
PROPAGANDA FOR THE YOUNGER
GENERATION'S TOP SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORM.
DEMOCRATS, HOWEVER, SEE IT AS A
STRATEGY POISED TO PAY
POLITICAL DIVIDENDS.
IS THAT A GENIUS MOVE OR A
LORD HELP OUR COUNTRY MOMENT,
IF YOU WILL, THAT THE WHITE
HOUSE IS BRINGING IN
INFLUENTIAL TIKTOKER'S?
IT IS WISE OF THEM BECAUSE
THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THESE
WEBSITES ARE POWERFUL.
THEY RECOGNIZE THEY ARE WINNING
WITH MY DEMOGRAPHIC OF VOTERS,
AND THEY REALIZE THAT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY, OUR SIDE OF
THE AISLE, IS DOING NOTHING TO
CHANGE THAT.
Reporter: ANOTHER
APPLICATION IS MANY REPUBLICANS
ARE RELUCTANT TO GET ON TIKTOK
BECAUSE OF ITS CONNECTION TO
CHINA AND PRIVACY CONCERNS THAT
PERSONAL DATA COULD BE STOLEN.
SO, INSTEAD, THEY TURN TO
INSTAGRAM AND SNAPCHAT, TWO
OTHER HEALTHY, VIABLE
ALTERNATIVES.
BUT WHAT ABOUT OLD-SCHOOL
CAMPAIGNING?
HOW EFFECTIVE CAN THAT STILL
BE?
YOU DO NOT GO ON TIKTOK AND
YOU CAN DO IS OTHER WAYS AND
YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE UP THE
EFFORTS OR OTHER WAYS TO GET
OTHER GEN Z CROWDS IN?
ABSOLUTELY, GET ON ALL THE
OTHER SIDES AND NEED TO BE'S
VOTERS WHERE THEY ARE IN
PERSON.
THERE IS NO MORE EFFECTIVE
CAMPAIGN TOOL OR NO MORE
PERSUASIVE METHOD.
YOU CAN WIN A VOTER OVER BY
LOOKING THEM IN THE EYES.
AT THIS POINT, FOR THE GOP,
WINNING OVER VOTERS ON THE
ISSUES AND IN PERSON
CAMPAIGNING THE OLD-FASHIONED
WAY MAYBE THEIR BEST BET
BECAUSE, WHEN IT COMES TO
TIKTOK, IT IS NO CONTEST.
DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS.
I USED TO LOOK AT TIKTOK AND
GO, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS
THING.
IT SEEMED TO BE A BUNCH OF
DANCE VIDEOS AND HERE IT IS.
IT IS NOW MORPHING INTO A MAJOR
NEWS OUTLET FOR GEN Z. I FIND
IT INCREDIBLE.
I ALSO FIND IT VERY HARD TO
KEEP UP WITH ALL THIS STUFF.
AT THE SAME TIME, YOU LOOK AT
THIS AND IS IT A GOVERNMENT
PROPAGANDA MACHINE?
YOU KIND OF GO, WAIT A MINUTE.
HOW, IN A FREE AND OPEN
SOCIETY, CAN WE DO THIS?
HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS.
IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN, YOU
GET THE SAME ACCESS, SO JUST
MIMIC WHAT THE OPPOSITION IS
DOING AND TRY TO OUTSTRIP THEM.
TAKE A PAGE FROM THE OBAMA
CAMPAIGN, WAY BACK IN 2008,
WHERE THEY PIONEERED SOCIAL
MEDIA CAMPAIGNING TO HOW TRUMP
TURNED FACEBOOK INTO AN
ELECTION ENGINE FOR HIM IN
2016, SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
MIDTERMS, LOOKING FORWARD TO
2024, REALIZE YOU HAVE ACCESS,
TOO.
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD.
HERE IS SOMETHING FOR
CHRISTIANS.
WE HAVE ACCESS.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO A
POLITICAL MESSAGE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE KING OF
KINGS AND LET'S HAVE CHRIST
REPRESENTED ON THESE PLATFORMS
AS WELL.
> STILL COMING UP, THE
CHRISTIAN DO WELL TYLER &
JENNY.
SEE HOW THEY SPEND TIME WITH
THEIR FAMILY.
THAT IS COMING UP.
> THIS MAN LOST HIS SIX-
FIGURE INCOME SALARY BECAUSE OF
COVID.
IN SPITE OF THAT, HIS WIFE
WOUND UP MAKING MORE MONEY THAN
EVER.
SEE HOW THEY DID IT AFTER THIS.
> THEY LOST A JOB BECAUSE OF
THE PANDEMIC.
HIS WIFE WAS WORKING PART-TIME
AND STILL THE COUPLE NEVER
PANICKED.
INSTEAD, THEY FELT PEACE AND
THEY ENDED UP HAVING THEIR BEST
FINANCIAL YEAR EVER.
IN MAY, 2020, LAWRENCE GIBBS
WALKED INTO HIS HOME EARLY FROM
WORK, STILL STUNNED BY THE
NEWS.
I JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH
YOU THAT, AS OF TODAY, I DON'T
HAVE A JOB.
THE COMPANY LET ME GO BECAUSE
OF COVID.
I KNOW I FELT A STATE OF
SHOCK.
IT TOOK LESS THAN TWO SECONDS
AND I WAS LIKE, WE WILL BE
OKAY.
THOSE WERE HER WORDS TO ME.
I REMEMBER IT.
MAYBE, WE WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
THEY NEEDED FAITH SINCE
LAWRENCE EARNED A SIX-FIGURE
SALARY IN CORPORATE FINANCE.
MORE PRESSURE WAS ADDED TO
THEIR SITUATION, CONSIDERING
AUDREY WAS RETIRED FROM HER
CAREER IN BANKING AND FINANCE.
SHE WAS BRINGING IN AN INCOME
WORKING PART-TIME FOR A
FINANCIAL LENDING FIRM.
AFTER THE INITIAL STOCK OF HIS
LAYOFF, THEY BOTH SAY THEY FELT
GOD'S PIECE.
THEY DID NOT PANIC.
THEY WERE LONG TIMESAVERS AND
COMMITTED TO TITHING.
THE WAY WE GIVE, YOU GIVE
GOD 10% FIRST, THEN 15% TO
OURSELVES, AND THE OTHER 75%
GOES TO BILLS AND OTHER
DISCRETIONARY THINGS.
GOD HONORS THAT, TOO, THAT WE
MAKE OURSELVES A BILL, OR MAKE
OURSELVES IMPORTANT.
IN PROVERBS 3 AND 9, THE
SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT THE BIGGEST
ACT THAT YOU CAN SHOW TO GOD IS
THAT YOU TRUST HIM -- WHEN YOU
TRUST HIM WITH YOUR FINANCES,
TOTALLY.
THAT IS WHAT I HAD TO DO AND
THAT IS WHAT I DID.
HE HAD NOT ALWAYS TRUSTED
GOD WITH HIS MONEY.
EARLY IN THE 35 YEAR MARRIAGE,
AUDREY LEARNED TO TAYLOR FORCE
ACT OFFER GROSS INCOME WHILE
LAWRENCE GAVE SPORADICALLY AT
CHURCH.
FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS, LAWRENCE
WRESTLED WITH THE IDEA OF
TITHING.
I DID NOT REALIZE I WAS
HOLDING MY FAMILY BACK FROM
OTHER BLESSINGS AND MOVING
FORWARD.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, IT
WAS NOT BUILT UP ENOUGH FOR ME
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS REALLY
SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
I WAS NOT AGAINST MY WIFE DOING
IT.
I THINK THAT HELPED US OUT.
LAWRENCE WAS PROMOTED TO A
SUPERVISORY POSITION IN
CORPORATE FINANCE WITH A 50%
INCREASE IN HIS SALARY.
IN STATE IN CHURCH, THEY GREW
IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH
CHRIST.
I PRAYED ABOUT IT AND I TOLD
GOD COME I WANT US TO BE ON THE
SAME PAGE AS IT RELATES TO
TITHING, SO WE CAN BE BLESSED
FINANCIALLY TOGETHER.
NOT THAT HE WAS NOT BLESSING US
AND KEEPING US, BUT I KNEW IF
WE FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT IT,
IT WOULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
AFTER HE WAS GIVEN ANOTHER
PROMOTION THAT MOVED THEM BACK
TO THE HOMESTEAD, HE WAS STILL
WRESTLING WITH THE IDEA OF
TITHING.
I HAD BEEN PRAYING ABOUT IT
AND MY SPIRIT AND EVERYTHING
JUST JUMPED.
IT WAS NOT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO
DO THEN.
IT WAS NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL.
ONCE I STARTED TITHING WITH MY
WIFE, WE SAW AN INCREASE IN
FAVOR, EVEN MORE AT OUR JOBS.
THINGS GOT BETTER FOR US AND
OUR KIDS.
WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE TO A NICE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
OUR KIDS WERE IN FINER AND
NICER SCHOOLS.
WE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY
SERIOUS LACK SINCE WE HAVE BEEN
TITHING TOGETHER.
WE HAVE ALWAYS PROGRESSED WITH
JOBS, WITH HOMES, WITH
EVERYTHING.
HE HAS ALWAYS PUSHED US
FORWARD.
IT WENT HAND-IN-HAND.
WE PUT MONEY IN THE BANK AND WE
COULD AFFORD TO DO VACATIONS
AND LITTLE TRIPS.
AFTER THREE DECADES OF
FAITHFUL TYPING, THEY TRUSTED
GOD WHEN THE 2020 PANDEMIC LAY
UP HIT.
AS A TEAM, ON THAT DAY, WE
SHOWED THAT WE HAVE TRUST AND
FAITH IN GOD, THAT WE WOULD BE
OKAY.
THE NEXT MONTH, SHE TOOK ON
MORE CLIENTS THAN EVER.
I AM ON STRAIGHT COMMISSION.
IT WAS A MIRACULOUS THING.
IN JUNE OF 2020, I MADE THE
MOST MONEY I HAVE EVER MADE IN
MY LIFE, IN ONE MONTH.
IT JUST SUSTAINED.
INSTEAD OF LAWRENCE
IMMEDIATELY GOING OUT AND
LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB, THEY
PRAYED ABOUT HIS NEW DIRECTION.
THEY WERE REMINDED OF AN IDEA
FROM SEVERAL YEARS AGO ABOUT A
NEW KIND OF SERVING DISH.
GOT CLEARLY SET, THAT IS
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO.
WE HAD TO DEAL WITH DIFFERENT
ENGINEERS AND ATTORNEYS AND
PATENTS AND TRADE.
WE DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THAT
TYPE OF STUFF.
WE DEALT WITH REAL ESTATE AND
LENDING.
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
I DID NOT EVEN PRAY AND ASK GOD
TO TRIPLE OR QUADRUPLE MY
BUSINESS.
IT JUST HAPPENED.
I TOTALLY REPLACED HIS SALARY,
HIS SIX-FIGURE PLUS SALARY.
HER BUSINESS INCREASED FIVE
TIMES IN TOTAL, MAKING 2020 AND
2021 THEIR BEST GEAR
FINANCIALLY AND THERE
INVENTION, EZ SERVE, HIT THE
MARKET.
WE ARE GETTING SALES AS WE
BLEAK.
WE ARE GLAD HE TOOK AN IDEA
FROM A COOKOUT TO A PRODUCT
THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE FOOD
INDUSTRY.
WE ARE NOT CHASING AFTER
MONEY.
IT IS ABOUT HOW HER
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
WE KNOW IF WE DO THE THINGS HE
HAS FOR US, THOSE THINGS WILL
FOLLOW.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A TITHING
RELATIONSHIP AND YOU START ONE,
GOD IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
YOU.
YOU HAVE TO TRY IT.
TEST HIM.
TEST HIM.
IF THE ONLY TIME WE GET TO TEST
GOD, IT IS WITH OUR TITHING AND
OFFICER REES . ALL THESE
BLESSINGS SHALL COME UPON YOU
AND OVERTAKE YOU BECAUSE YOU
OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD YOUR
GOD.
AUDREY SAID, YES, WE ARE GOING
TO OBEY GOD'S DIRECTION AND WE
ARE GOING TO GIVE AND GIVE
CHEERFULLY AND WE ARE GOING TO
GIVE GENEROUSLY AND GIVE FROM
OUR NEED AND WE ARE GOING TO
GIVE FROM OUR ABUNDANCE AND WE
ARE GOING TO GIVE AND THEY MADE
THAT RESOLUTION AND THEN GOD
CAME THROUGH.
WHAT AN AMAZING THING.
A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING.
OR THEY ARE IN A COOKOUT AND
THEY GET AN IDEA OF, HOW CAN WE
CHANGE THIS?
HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS EASIER?
IT IS WONDERFUL AND IT TAKES
OFF FOR THEM.
GOD WANTS TO GIVE YOU IDEAS.
HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU
PRODUCTIVITY.
HE WANTS TO BLESS YOU.
HE IS A GOOD FATHER.
HE WANTS TO LOOK AFTER HIS
CHILDREN.

PREPARED FOR THE DAYS AHEAD.
LET'S TAKE CARE OF WHAT HE

WE WILL BE PROTECTED FOR THE
YEARS AHEAD.
HERE IS A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
GIFT YOU WILL RECEIVE WHEN YOU
JOIN THE 700 CLUB.
PUTTING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD.
ALL THESE WEAPONS ARE HAVING
TO DO WITH SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
WE CANNOT DEAL AGAINST SATAN
UNLESS WE UNDERSTAND THE
FULLNESS OF THE GOSPEL.
THERE WILL BE FIERY DARTS
COMING AT YOU. ALL THIS ARMOR
OF GOD IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE
CHRISTIAN, TO STAND FAST
AGAINST THE DEVIL'S WILES.
AT HIS NEW AUDIO RECORDING,
PUTTING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD,
AVAILABLE NOW.
WHEN YOU BECOME A PARTNER,
YOU HELP PEOPLE ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
LIKE THE SINGLE MOM IN
THAILAND.
SHE LOST EVERYTHING WHEN SHE
LEFT HER ABUSIVE HUSBAND.
WHAT IS WORSE?
HIS CREDITORS CAME AFTER HER
FOR HIS DEBTS.
HERE IS HOW PEOPLE LIKE YOU
CAME TO HER RESCUE.
YHONG IS A SINGLE MOTHER,
RAISING HER TWO SONS.
EVER SINCE YOU LEFT AN ABUSIVE
HUSBAND, SHE WORKED FROM HOME,
SEWING SHIRTS.
THEN HER EX-HUSBANDS CREDITORS
CAME.
SHE WAS FORCED TO SELL
EVERYTHING, INCLUDING HER
SEWING MACHINE.
I THOUGHT WHY IS THIS
HAPPENING TO US?
WITHOUT MY SEWING MACHINE, I
HAVE NOTHING LEFT.
MY OLDER SON IS AWAY AT SCHOOL.
HOW WILL I RAISE MONEY FOR
FOOD?
Reporter: BUYING FOOD FOR
HER SON HAS ALSO BEEN A
CHALLENGE.
WHEN MY SON IS HUNGRY AND
ASKS FOR RICE OR MILK, I CANNOT
BEAR TO TELL HIM THAT I DO NOT
HAVE ANY MONEY, SO I BORROWED
MONEY FROM A RELATIVE TO
PURCHASE MILK.
SHE CRIED WHILE HER SON
SLEPT.
I FELT LIKE I WAS FAILING MY
CHILDREN.
I FELT SO ALONE.
EVENTUALLY, SHE FOUND WORK
AS A HOUSEKEEPER AT A
UNIVERSITY DORM.
SHE WAS ABLE TO STAY THERE FOR
FREE WITH HER SON, BUT THERE
STILL WAS NOT ENOUGH FOR FOOD.
HER SON KNEW THAT THINGS WERE
TOUGH FOR HIS MOM.
WHEN I SAW HER CRY, I HUGGED
HER.
I SAID I LOVE YOU.
MY SON GAVE ME COMFORT AND
STRENGTH.
I LOVE SEWING AND I TOLD MYSELF
THAT, SOMEDAY, I WOULD GET
ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE.
WHEN WE MET THE FAMILY, SHE
SHOWED SIGNS OF MALNUTRITION,
SO ORPHAN'S PROMISE IMMEDIATELY
BROUGHT FOOD, INCLUDING A
SUPPLY OF MILK.
WE GAVE HER A NEW PROFESSIONAL
SEWING MACHINE AND SUPPLIES IT
TO RESTORE HER BUSINESS.
WORD QUICKLY SPREAD AT THE
UNIVERSITY AND RESIDENTS BEGAN
COMING TO HER FOR SEWING JOBS
AND REPAIRS AND WHEN THEY
LEARNED THAT SHE KNEW HOW TO
MAKE MOSQUITO NETS, THEY
STARTED BUYING THOSE FROM HER,
TOO.
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE
FOOD AND THE SEWING MACHINE.
IT FEELS GREAT TO BE SEWING
AGAIN.
EVERY DAY, I EARN MORE THAN
ENOUGH TO PROVIDE FOR MY
CHILDREN.
I HAVE PAID OFF 90% OF MY DEBT.
I HAVE ONLY $100 LEFT TO PAY.
SHE SAYS SHE AND HER SONS NO
LONGER GO HUNGRY.
I AM SO HAPPY.
MY CHILDREN AND I HAVE A NEW
LIFE AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING
BETTER AND BETTER.
I THANK GOD FOR SENDING YOU TO
BRING US HOPE.

IT SOUNDS GOOD.
IT LOOKS GOOD.
I LOVE THE STORIES AND THE
MORALITY IT HAS BROUGHT INTO
IT.
KNOWING IT IS SOMETHING YOU
CAN TRUST IS A HUGE DEAL
BECAUSE THERE IS JUST SO MUCH
OUT THERE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO
BE ABOUT THE BIBLE, THAT IS
REALLY WISHY-WASHY OR JUST NOT

THAT IS SO TRUE.
THEIR KIDS LOVE THE
ADVENTURES AND THE LESSONS.
I LIKE THE CHARACTERS AND
HOW THEY HAVE PROBLEMS AND THEY
GO ON ADVENTURES THAT THEY
LEARNED FROM.
IT IS LIKE, OH, I CAN TEACH
MY KID ABOUT THE SCRIPTURE BUT

MODERN DAY.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD NOT TELL
ANYONE.
I LIKE THAT THEY HAVE A
LESSON AT THE BEGINNING AND
END.
THE STORY IN THE BIBLE -- IT
WILL TEACH DIFFERENT LESSONS.
I FEEL LIKE THE SHOW -- IT
HAS A REALLY SWEET IMPACT ON
THEM, AND THAT WE WILL READ A
SCRIPTURE AND THEY WILL SAY OH,
YEAH, WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT
THAT, DAD.
WE SAW IT ON SUPERBOOK.
I LIKE DANIEL AND THE LION.
HE SENT ANGELS TO SHUT THE
LION'S MOUTH SO THEY WOULD NOT
HURT ME.
HE IS NOT DEAD.
THIS IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS
ALL ABOUT.
I LOVE THE SELFISHNESS AND
HOW THEY DEAL WITH IT.
CHRIS ONCE ALL THE PRESENTS
FOR CHRISTMAS TO HIMSELF, THEN
HE GOES ON A SUPERBOOK
ADVENTURE AND HE GIVES THE
PRESENCE TO A LITTLE BOY.
I THINK THAT HE LEARNED TO
PREFER PEOPLE OVER HIMSELF.
JENNY EVEN HAS A FAVORITE.

GORDON AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

> SHE IS A ROCK STAR IN THE
WORLD OF WOMEN'S SPORTS
CASTING.
FOR YEARS, SHE REACHED NEW
HEIGHTS IN HER CAREER BUT IN
HER PERSONAL LIFE, SHE WAS
BATTLING A RAGING ADDICTION
THAT WOULD HAVE KILLED HER.
Reporter: FOR NEARLY 2
DECADES, RACHEL BARIBEAU
EMPLOYEES A TRAIL FOR WOMEN IN
SPORTS BROADCASTING.
SHE CAN BE FOUND ON THE
SIDELINES COVERING COLLEGE
FOOTBALL OR IN THE STUDIO AS
THE FIRST BEING A HOST OF
SIRIUS XM'S RADIO TALK SHOW,
COLLEGE SPORTS NATION.
SHE WAS ALSO THE FIRST FEMALE
SPORTS REPORTER TO STRAP ON A
HELMET AND ENDURE A GRUELING
PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TRAINING
CAMP.
TO THOSE WHO KNEW HER, RACHEL
WAS UNSTOPPABLE.
I HAD FRIENDS.
I WAS OUTGOING AND VIVACIOUS,
BUT I HAD A DARK SIDE OF MY
LIFE THAT VERY FEW PEOPLE KNEW
ABOUT AND IT WAS GOING TO KILL
ME.
SHE GREW UP THE YOUNGEST OF
THREE WITH TWO BROTHERS.
HER PARENTS DIVORCED WHEN SHE
WAS NINE.
I WAS HAPPY KID.
I WAS IMAGINATIVE.
I WAS BOILED WITH LOVE.
WHEN MY PARENTS GOT DIVORCED,
IT AFFECTED ME GREATLY.
MY DADDY WAS GONE.
LOOKING BACK, I CAN SEE THAT AS
THE BEGINNING OF A FATHER
WOUND.
A COUPLE YEARS LATER, SHE
DISCOVERED THAT THE MAN SHE
THOUGHT WAS HER FATHER HAD
ADOPTED HER AS A TODDLER.
THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT
IS THE RUG GETS PULLED OUT FROM
UNDERNEATH YOU.
EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW
ABOUT YOURSELF AND EVERYTHING
YOU THOUGHT TO BE TRUE, THE
MOST PRIMAL, DEEPEST THINGS,
YOUR PARENTS, THAT IS NOT TRUE.
MY OWN INTERNAL DIALOGUE WAS,
YOU ARE ILLEGITIMATE.
AND THEN THE NEXT STEP WAS, YOU
ARE UNWANTED.
AND THEN I WOULD EVEN SAY WORDS
TO MYSELF LIKE, YOU ARE A NO
ONE IN MY FAMILY HAD EVER USED
THOSE WORDS TO ME, BUT I BEGAN
-- I BEGAN TO THINK OF MYSELF
LIKE THAT.
HER MOTHER REMARRIED.
I HAD A BIOLOGICAL FATHER AND
AN ADOPTIVE FATHER AND A
STEPFATHER.
MY PARENTS GOT DIVORCED.
THAT IS A LOT FOR A LITTLE
GIRL.
A YEAR LATER, AT AGE 13,
RACHEL GAVE HER LIFE TO JESUS
AT A CHURCH YOUTH CAMP.
HOWEVER, THAT EXPERIENCE DID
NOT HEAL HER HEART.
I LOVED JESUS.
I WAS A CHRISTIAN BUT I WAS
DEEPLY IN PAIN.
I WAS DEEPLY HURTING.
WHEN RACHEL STARTED HIGH
SCHOOL, SHE BEGAN DRINKING AND
PARTYING.
OTHER PEOPLE WERE DOING IT
AND I WANTED TO FIT IN.
I WANTED TO BE FUN AND COOL. I
WAS GREGARIOUS.
BEING THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
INCLUDED DRUGS.
BY HER EARLY 20s, SHE WAS A
COCAINE ADDICT, BOUNCING FROM
RELATIONSHIP TO RELATIONSHIP,
SOME OF THEM ABUSIVE.
I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY
ELSE TO COMPLETE ME.
SOMEBODY ELSE TO MAKE ME FEEL
WORTHY.
SOMEBODY ELSE TO LOVE ME.
I STUFFED MY TRAUMA DOWN.
I TRIED TO MAKE IT SMALL.
THERE WAS ONE BRIGHT SPOT.
SHE DISCOVERED A LOVE AND A
TALENT FOR SPORTS CASTING AND
POURED HERSELF INTO PURSUING IT
PROFESSIONALLY AFTER SHE
GRADUATED.
BEING A BROADCASTER WAS
INCREDIBLY EXCITING.
IT WAS FUN AND IT SCARES ME A
LOT, SO IT KEPT ME ON MY TOES
AND IT CHALLENGED ME.
BROADCASTING, FOR ME, WAS THE
CONNECTION, GETTING TO TELL
PEOPLE'S STORIES.
FOR THE NEXT NINE YEARS, SHE
GAINED RESPECT AND POPULARITY,
I'LL WHILE FIGHTING A LOSING
BATTLE WITH HER DEMONS.
I STILL LOVE THE LORD BUT I
KNEW I WAS NOT LIVING FOR HIM.
I MEAN, I WAS PHYSICALLY
ADDICTED, I WAS MENTALLY
DICTATE.
I WAS ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
I JUST BEGAN TO HAVE THIS
FEELING IN THE PIT OF MY
STOMACH.
I KNEW HOW BAD OFF I WAS.
I KNEW IT.
BY 2009, SHE HAD DROPPED TO
A NEW LOW, SELLING DRUGS TO
SUPPORT HER ADDICTION.
SHE SAYS IT WAS THEN THAT GOD
SPOKE TO HER.
HE SAID, YOU ARE A RUNAWAY
TRAIN GOING DOWN THE WRONG WAY
ON THE TRACK.
YOU ARE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF,
KILL SOMEBODY ELSE, END UP IN
JAIL, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
AND WHAT I FELT HIM SAYING WAS,
I CREATED YOU FOR MORE THAN
THIS, MY GIRL.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
COME HOME TO ME.
A FEW DAYS LATER, SHE CAME
ACROSS A SERMON ON THE RADIO.
I JUST BEGAN TO WEEP AND I
SAID, I AM TIRED.
I DO NOT WANT TO RUN FROM GOD
ANYMORE.
STILL PULLED BY ADDICTION,
RACHEL WOULD USE COCAINE ONE
LAST TIME.
AS SOON AS IT HIT MY NOSE, I
BEGAN TO CONVULSE AND SHAKE AND
WEEP.
I HEARD THE LORD SAY TO ME,
YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR OWN
ANYMORE.
THE NEXT MORNING --
I GOT CLEANED UP AND I DROVE
THAT CAR LIKE MARIO ANDRETTI.
I COULD NOT GET TO CHURCH FAST
ENOUGH.
I WENT AND I FELT -- I PUT MY
FACE DOWN ON THAT CARPETED
ALTAR AND I WEPT.
AND I THANK GOD FOR SAVING MY
LIFE.
FINDING GOD AT THAT TIME --
COMPLETE SURRENDER.
I CANNOT DO THIS ON MY OWN.
I NEED YOUR HELP, LORD.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT
IS I WAS SUPERNATURALLY
DELIVERED FROM A NINE-YEAR
COCAINE ADDICTION.
I NEVER DESIRED IT AGAIN.
AFTER RE-DEDICATING HER LIFE
TO CHRIST, RACHEL SAYS HEALING
TOOK TIME.
GOD FILLED THOSE HOLES WITH
A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE TO SAY, YOU
ARE ENOUGH IN ME.
YOU DO NOT NEED SUBSTANCES.
YOU DO NOT NEED THINGS.
YOU DO NOT NEED THE WORLD.
YOU DO NOT NEED ANY OF THOSE
THINGS TO BE ENOUGH.
I CREATED YOU.
I DID NOT TAKE THE DAY OFF WHEN
YOU WERE MADE.
IT WAS A PIECE BEYOND
UNDERSTANDING.
MY MIDDLE NAME IS JOY.
GOD GAVE ME MY JOY BACK.
Reporter: SHE REACHED NEW
HEIGHTS IN HER CAREER UNTIL SHE
RETIRED IN 2019.
NOW MARRIED, SHE RUNS A
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, I
CHANGING THE NARRATIVE, WHICH
PROMOTES MENTAL HEALTH AND
INSPIRES OTHERS TO BUILD A
POSITIVE LEGACY.
OF ALL HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS, SHE
BELIEVES SHE IS DOING HER
GREATEST WORK, SHARING THE
TRUTH THAT SET HER FREE.
I HAVE GIVEN MY LIFE TO GOD
AND HE HAS GIVEN ME SOMETHING
SO BEAUTIFUL IN RETURN.
I AM LIVING PROOF THAT THERE IS
LIFE AND LOVE AND PEACE AND JOY
ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THERE IS FULLNESS OF LIFE.
JESUS CAME THAT YOU MIGHT
HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT MORE
ABUNDANTLY.
ON THE OTHER SIDE, THERE IS
LIFE.
THERE IS PEACE.
THERE IS JOY AND HERE IS THE
WONDERFUL THING.
THERE IS LIBERTY.
THERE IS FREEDOM.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A SLAVE
OF ANY COMPULSION.
YOU CAN HAVE THE VICTORY OVER
IT.
YOU CAN HAVE THE VICTORY
THROUGH IT.
HE WILL SEE YOU THROUGH TO THAT
VICTORY.
HOW DO YOU GET VICTORY?
IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.
IT SEEMS COUNTERINTUITIVE.
YOU GET THE VICTORY BY
SURRENDERING.
SAY, GOD, I CANNOT DO THIS BUT
YOU CAN.
WITH YOU, I CAN DO ALL THINGS.
NOW, IF YOU ARE LIKE RACHEL AND
TRYING TO PERFORM AND TRYING TO
MAKE IT THROUGH SO THAT YOU CAN
GET THE NEXT HIT OR THE NEXT
SIX OR THE NEXT WHATEVER, AND
YOU ARE SAYING, IF I COULD ONLY
JUST CONTROL IT AND PUT IT IN A
DESIGNATED TIME PERIOD AND DO
THAT AND I CAN HIDE IT AND HAVE
IT AND I CAN DO EVERYTHING AND
I CAN MAKE IT ALL WORK, JUST
LIKE RACHEL, YOU ARE A RUNAWAY
TRAIN AND YOU ARE GOING THE
WRONG WAY DOWN THE TRACK AND
YOU KNOW THE END.
YOU KNOW THE END WILL COME.
YOU WILL KNOW YOU WILL BLOW
YOUR LIFE APART BUT HERE IS THE
WONDERFUL NEWS.
IF YOU JUST SURRENDER, JESUS
WILL TAKE IT.
HE WILL GIVE YOU A BRAND-NEW
MIND, A BRAND-NEW BODY
CHEMISTRY, AND HE WILL MAKE ALL
THINGS NEW.
HE WILL MAKE IT SO YOU ARE
NEVER UNDER THAT COMPULSION AT
ALL.
HE CAN DO THAT.
HE IS THAT KIND OF GOD.
HE CAN REMOVE THE THOUGHTS.
HE CAN REMOVE THE COMPULSION.
HE CAN DO ALL OF THAT.
WHAT HE IS WAITING FOR IS FOR
YOU TO SURRENDER ALL, TO SAY,
THIS IS NOT MY BODY ANYMORE.
I DO NOT HAVE TO BE A SLAVE TO
IT.
I CAN GIVE IT TO HIM. NOW, THE
APOSTLE PAUL GIVES US SOME KEYS
TO THIS AND HE TALKS ABOUT IT
IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS, WHERE
THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO DO, I
AM UNABLE TO DO AND THE THINGS
THAT I DON'T WANT TO DO, I FIND
MYSELF DOING.
THEN HE CONCLUDES, BUT I THINK
GOD, FOR THE LORD, JESUS
CHRIST.
I THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS
GIVEN ME, THAT HE HAS ENABLED
ME TO HAVE THE VICTORY OVER THE
DOMINION OF MY OWN FLESH.
HE IS ABLE TO DO THAT.
NOW, IF YOU WANT THIS, THAT
COMPLETE SURRENDER, WHERE YOU
SAY, LORD, I COME TO YOU.
FOR SOME OF YOU, THAT SURRENDER
MAY BE A TREATMENT PLAN.
YOU MIGHT NEED TO GO INTO
ISOLATION AND GET AWAY FROM ANY
KIND OF SUBSTANCE THAT YOU ARE
ADDICTED TO.
BUT IN THAT, YOU WILL FIND THE
JURY AT THE OTHER SIDE.
HERE IS THE GREAT NEWS.
YOU WILL FIND PEACE.
YOU WILL FIND LIFE.
YOU WILL HAVE IT MORE
ABUNDANTLY.
IF YOU WANT THIS, BOW YOUR HEAD
WITH ME.
LET'S PRAY A VERY SIMPLE
PRAYER.
JESUS WILL ANSWER.
HE WILL PROVIDE THE WAY.
HE WILL PROVIDE SHELTER FOR
YOU.
HE WILL PROVIDE ADVISERS FOR
YOU.
HE WILL PROVIDE ALL OF IT IF
YOU JUST ASK HIM.
LET'S PRAY.
JESUS.
SAY HIS NAME.
SAY IT OUT LOUD.
JESUS.
I SURRENDER ALL.
I COME TO YOU.
GIVE ME THE PIECE.
GIVE ME THE LIBERTY.
MOST OF ALL, GIVE ME YOU.
FORGIVE ME.
I ASKED IT ALL IN JESUS' NAME,
AMEN.
IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, GIVE US
A CALL AT 1-800-700-7000 . HERE
IS A WORD FROM COLOSSIANS.
HE HAS DELIVERED US FROM THE
POWER OF DARKNESS AND
TRANSLATED US INTO THE KINGDOM
